We were visiting granparents and they had purchased one of those huge containers of mixed nuts from Sam's Club. Everyone was eating them and I noticed that they were all picking out certain nuts. I asked everyone what their favorite nut was and the all replied that it was cashews. I asked G and G why they didn't just buy a big huge thing of cashews instead of the mixed nuts if that is what they liked. Grandpa, in all his years of wisdom, answered , "Life isn't like that, you don't always get to have just cashews." I guess he told me. Here is another food analogy.

(speaking of which, your eyes in that video were really crazy creepy funny) consciousness.
